Tollcross, Glasgow
Tollcross ( gd, Toll na Croise) is an area north of the River Clyde in Glasgow and has a popular park, opened in 1897, which is famed for its international rose trials. It lies approximately a mile east of the neighbouring suburb of Parkhead, and just north of Braidfauld and south of Shettleston.

McVitie's biscuit factory is one of the main employers in the area today, with a facility in the area since the 1920s.Tollcross
